Project context: According to several studies by Eurostat, BAS, etc. in recent years contemporary society of the EU has faced increasing level of aggression and discriminatory attitude, which periodically leads to manifestation of various forms of violence, including racism and xenophobia, based on the prevalence of hate speech.The clash of young Europeans with this social phenomenon already occurs at an early age because of early socialization as a result of daily information and communication technologies The use of the Internet and new communication channels have some benefits, but it poses some threat as well and young people are exposed to visible, socially acceptable use of hate speech, widespread online, without having established moral and psychological barriers against discrimination on ethnic, religious and gender issues and the consequent violation of fundamental human rights.Extreme social groups and movements have managed to attract more young people and they get used to the language of hatred at an early age. School aggression has increased, as there is an increased number of cases of school and online bullying, and most often - a combination of both. Rather frequently media report cases of violence among young people provoked after exchange of harsh words online. In social media and social networks anonymous users use the language of hatred with impunity. Naturally the most vulnerable are young people. These alarming trends that are widespread throughout the EU have brought up the idea of this project: YOUTH AGAINST HATE SPEECH ONLINE and the desire of our organization and our partners to get a group of young people together with experienced leaders to work on these issues.Project objectives:Main objective: To conduct a successful youth exchange aimed at discussing the language of hate online and to increase knowledge and practical skills of 25 youths to recognize the language of hatred and to counteract.Sub-Objectives:- With the support of experienced leaders and in a protected environment, young people participating in the project are to discuss hate speech online, the status in their countries and realize the importance of the problem;- Young people participating in the project are to develop knowledge and skills to recognize hate speech online, how to combat it and how to use a language without hatred on the Internet;- To share two years of practical experience in youth work aimed at the prevention of the use of language of hatred online.Number and profile of participants: 25 young people from Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Lithuania and Spain aged 18 to 30 years and 5 experienced leaders from five countries without age limit.Activities: This project provides only one activity - A1 Youth Exchanges- program countries.Methods: In the project will be used mainly methods and techniques of non-formal education.Impact: The project will have a direct impact on participants and target groups, on Step by Step NGO and all partner organizations also on local community.
